what we think

R&P was recently invited to contribute to the International Edition of Requisite, a publication by major Florida law firm Willams Parker (www. williamsparker.com):

• In "Trend in China: Taking Control of Distribution", Maarten describes the legal steps that many international brand owners are taking to take back control of their wholesale and retail distribution networks in China, to take maximum advantages of the opportunities that the growing Chinese consumer market presents to foreign brand owners in particular.
• In "Hot Topic in China: Compliance for Foreign Businesses", Robin Tabbers and Maarten Roos point to some of the key areas of legal incompliance for international businesses operating in China, and how companies should respond to this.
